Solar Bar Card - Releases

Buy Me A Coffee

v2.4.0

Changes

  • Dynamic stats tile layout: Stats tiles now adapt dynamically based on which entities are configured. No more fixed 4-tile maximum — the layout grows with your setup.
  • Battery and EV coexistence: Battery and EV tiles are no longer mutually exclusive. If you have both configured, both tiles display simultaneously.
  • Smart row splitting: The tile grid automatically splits into two rows when there are 5+ tiles (3 core tiles on row 1, extras on row 2). For 4 or fewer tiles, everything stays in a single row.
  • Persistent battery tile: Battery tile now always shows when configured, even when idle — useful for monitoring SOC at a glance.
  • Additional consumer tiles: New consumer_1_entity/consumer_1_name and consumer_2_entity/consumer_2_name config options. Add up to 2 extra power consumers (heat pump, pool heater, hot water, AC, etc.) as stats tiles. Consumers show as tiles only — the bar stays clean.
  • Consumer idle visibility: New show_consumers_when_idle option (default false). When enabled, consumer tiles always show even when power is 0 (like battery). When disabled, tiles only appear while actively consuming (like EV).
  • Compact stats mode: New show_stats_detail option (default true). Set to false to hide the detail row on all stats tiles (daily kWh, net position, battery %) for a slimmer card.
  • Consumer tile background colors: New palette keys stats_consumer_1_background and stats_consumer_2_background for per-consumer tile styling via custom_colors.
